[$] "Opt-in" metrics planned for Fedora Workstation 42

Date:
Mon, 22 Jul 2024 13:54:29 +0000

Description:
Red Hat, through members of the Fedora
Workstation Working Group , has taken another
swing at persuading the Fedora Project to allow metrics related to
the real-world use of the Workstation edition to be collected. The first
proposal , aimed for Fedora40, was withdrawn to be reworked
based on feedback . This time around, the proponents have shifted from
asking for opt-out telemetry to opt-in metrics, with more detail about
what would be collected and the policies that would govern data collection. 
The
change seems to be on its way to approval by the Fedora Engineering
Steering Council (FESCo) and is set to take effect for
Fedora42.
